Versatile connection to medical oxygen systems

FasTest product story

The FasTest VariQuik coupling system creates versatility in medical oxygen filling applications, providing two types of standard connections: the CGA 540 and CGA 870
Companies that service the medical oxygen industry use two types of standard connections for filling oxygen cylinders - specifically, the industry approved CGA 540 and CGA 870 connection styles.
The versatile VariQuik coupling system provides a quick change for the oxygen filling rack and connection to the CGA 540 and CGA 870 from a single oxygen source.
In the application, the VariQuik coupler is added to the oxygen source, and the FasTest MediMate 540 and MediMate 870 medical oxygen connectors for the CGA 540 and CGA 870, respectively, are outfitted with a flexible pigtail hose and mating connector to the VariQuik coupler.
This simple change makes a dedicated oxygen filling rack easily converted back and forth between the CGA 540 and CGA 870 connections.
This keeps the rack busy at all times, and makes a dedicated rack an option, but not a requirement.
Other features of the VariQuik include:.
* Brass and stainless steel construction for strength, durability and maximum operating pressure of 3600 psi.
* "Green-to-Go" indicator to ensure proper and complete connection prior to filling.
* Internal locking mechanism for safety to prevent accidental disconnect by operator during fill or pressurisation.
FasTest is a dedicated manufacturer of productivity and high quality improvement connection tools for pressure and vacuum testing applications.
The complete line of FasTest specialty connectors are designed to provide leak-tight, reliable connections for industrial manufacturing applications.
Custom leak test capabilities are available for unusual or unique requirements.
